I want to export (render) the selected portion of a song as a WAV file.

You can use "Start Marker" and "End Marker" to specify the portion of the song to be exported as a WAV file. Click the "Start Marker" or "End Marker" button on the transport tool bar to display the markers on the rulers of both the Track Editor and the Musical Editor. If you drag these markers to the start and end positions for export, only the specified section of the song is exported as a WAV file. This can also be done by clicking and holding the mouse's left button on the section with the green border (the top area on the ruler). After the mouse pointer changes into a hand cursor, drag-and-drop to set the start and end positions.

When I import a VSQ file created in VOCALOID2, all the VEL (velocity) values are set to 64.

In VOCALOID4, the effect of the VEL (velocity) setting has been improved compared to VOCALOID2. This improvement can cause a significant change in output sound levels if VSQ files created in VOCALOID2 are imported as-is. Hence, VOCALOID4 Editor intentionally sets VEL levels to the default value (64) when importing a VSQ file created in VOCALOID2. For the same reason, the software also sets the OPE (opening) parameter to its default value (127) when reading that parameter.
